433 forum posts 95 photos	Afternoon all, Last night I had a proper crash moment and my favourite insert endmill (16mm dia) is now less endmilly and more scrap. I still have a load of apkt inserts, so a new body is all I need. Should be simple however the insert size is a mystery. The only insert box I have with no label is the apkt one... My google-fu is weak today and I haven’t managed to find a chart with measurements that would allow me to determine what I have. I think they are 1604, but it seems all the bodies in the size I use take 1003. Can anyone tell me what I need to measure to know? Dave

Corner radius will have a slight affect on length so can't be exact, the 10 and 16 are the long edge measurements. Edited By JasonB on 30/06/2021 13:17:34
